Katie Nguyen Student Assistant

Hi everyone!

We're nearing the end of the semester already. I have to say, I will miss you all!! Let's stay in touch, if you want :')

Kelly Martinez Program Coordinator Remember, all the new friends, new experiences, and new learning opportunities help shape who you are and your future. Take an opportunity to reflect on your past 10 weeks and see how far you've come.

Whether you are spending your Fall break visiting friends, traveling or simply relaxing, remember to make the last 6 weeks count!

Christopher Mefford Director

Seasons greetings SA@B students!

We are over half finished with the semester and things are rolling into exam time. I hope everyone is healthy and focused!

Don’t forget to get involved with campus activities (one way or another) including the upcoming basketball game at the pyramid.

Best wishes to you and enjoy your November!

Meet the new SA! Brenda Ametepe Student Assistant Hey friends! My name is Brenda and I am the new addition to the SA@TheBeach Family! I am really happy to be part of the team and super excited to connect with y’all and help you in your academic endeavors here at the Beach! I am new to CSULB too so I completely understand how overwhelming life can get when you are trying to adapt to a new environment but also have fun. However, always remember to take every challenge once step at the time, and it will get easier!

Hope you incredible humans are having a great semester, if not make a promise to yourself to make it better by the end of the week!

Stay well !!! Brenda Ametepe
